Monday 27 September- Our anniversary, the day started of rather overcast but we did not let that dampen our spirits as we tucked into our full English breakfast. It was even a bit misty by the time we parked the car in Portinscale and started climbing the Catbells. These fells were deceptively steep, and although a tiny bit shorter than the Barrow it was a much more difficult climb. We manged to make it to the Northern summit then pushed on along a ridge of the southern summit. We had a fantastic view of Derwent water and the surrounding Fells. We enjoyed our accomplishment then meandered down to a trail halfway up the slope and followed along the fells and the lake line back to our starting point. As we were getting into the car and heading back to Keswick we saw a number of pheasant, at least 30 frolicking in the fields and along the road.
